The Bible is very clear about the eternal life. It comes by faith, not by parts.
The messenger of the Romans, chapter 3, verse 23 says,
"For all have sinned and have not attained the glory of God."
This means that all people are sinners, and as such cannot reach paradise on their own.
He has not reached them.
As it is written, there is no righteous person, not a single one.
The messenger of the Romans, chapter 3, verse 10.
None of us is righteous, none of us is innocent.
Only one small sin is enough to prevent us from entering paradise.
Because sin is the sin of death, and the gift of God is the eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin is a punishment for everyone. Even one sin is death, not only physical, but also spiritual.
But the terrible and the unbeliever, and the despicable, and the murderer, and the whore, and the traitor, and the idol of worship, and all the liars,
will have its part in the lake that burns with fire and with resistance, which is the second death, Revelation 21, chapter 8.
Even though you have never sinned in your life, you have only said one lie.
The second death is a punishment for you.
From this, from the next verse, we know that the second or spiritual death is hell.
And death and hell were thrown into the lake of fire.
That is the second death.
Revelation 20, chapter 14.
However, you don't have to swallow the second death, that is hell.
But God took His love towards us, in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5, chapter 8. Jesus Christ came to earth, lived without sin, suffered terrible torments, died on the cross,
was buried, went to hell, and resurrected on the third day, all for the sake of opening the door through which we can save ourselves from hell and enter the heaven.
Why? Because He loved us.
And where are those doors?
Right in Him. The Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 says,
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
Those are the doors to Christ, the Son of God, and to enter through them into heaven,
as this verse says, we just need to believe and we will not perish.
We already have eternal life.
To believe here does not mean just to believe that Jesus exists, but to put all our faith, all our trust in Him, and that only in Him, not in our deeds, not in our works.
Acts of the Apostles, chapter 16, verses 30 and 31 say, "And take them out, and say, Lord, what must I do to be saved?"
And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, and your house."
So, for salvation we just need to put all our faith in Jesus, we do not need to be baptized, we do not need to go to church, nor to turn away from our sins.
To turn away from our sins in principle means to stop sinning, and that is not possible.
Do not repent for your sins, do not do good deeds, nothing of this is needed for salvation.
Even more, if we believe in Jesus, and again we believe a little in the fact that our good deeds will push us into heaven, or doing religious duties.
Again we go to hell, because that means that our faith is not 100% in Christ, but in some parts.
And the Bible clearly says in Ephesians chapter 8 and 9, "For you have been saved through faith, and not by yourselves.
For you have been saved through faith, and not by yourselves."
From these verses it is clear that salvation does not depend on our work and deeds, but is a gift from God.
The gift is free for the one who receives it, that means that we do not have to work or pay for it.
God is the one who gives that gift, and He has already paid for it.
We just have to believe. Also, we can not believe a little in Jesus, a little in the Buddha, Allah or some other deity,
because that again means that we do not have all faith in Jesus, but in some part and in some other.
Likewise, life lasts forever, forever, which means that there is no end, it never stops.
Therefore, once we receive it, we can not lose it anymore. As we could not do anything to get it, so we can not do anything to lose it.
It does not matter what terrible sin we have committed, God will never take it away from us.
He will punish us in this world, but He will not send us to hell, even if we commit suicide or stop believing.
Of course, God will punish us and discipline us for our sins and sins in this world, but He will not take away the gift of eternal life that He gave us when we believed.
In the hope of eternal life, which God, which cannot lie, promises before the world begins.
When God would take away our salvation for any reason, it would mean that He has broken His promises and lied to us, and from this verse it is clear that God never breaks promises, that God never lies.
Now, when you know that you are a sinner, when you know the punishment for a sin and when you know what Christ means to you, death, salvation and resurrection,
I invite you to put all your faith in Jesus and so you will get the gift of eternal life. I will help you to turn to God.
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner who deserves hell, but I believe that you have been crucified, died, buried and resurrected for me.
Please, at this moment, save me from hell and give me eternal life. I do not give up my work or any other deity, but only in you. Amen.
